If I remember correctly, there are about 70,000 MCAT test-takers. The top 50 or so on any given section (an average) will score a fifteen on said section.

So if, in a pool of 70,000, the same kid managed to be in the top fifty on every single section, he would get a 45.

This is unlike, say, the LSAT, where the sections are all lumped together in the end. Somebody has to get a perfect score, because that's how it's scored.

On the MCAT, somebody has to get a perfect score on any given section. But that's not going to translate to a perfect score overall.
